〔Note10-1〕The maximum and minimum ratings don’t mean the LCD works well in the whole range of Vo. Vo
must be adjusted to optimize the viewing angle and contrast. Refer to definition of drive voltage, refer to 10.2.
〔Note10-2〕The frequency shouldn’t be too low to avoid flicker. Refer to definition of drive voltage, refer to
10.2.

the selected state is white (or bright) and non-selected state is dark with negative type. Refer to 10.6
definition of response time.
〔Note10-5〕Generally the viewing direction is 6:00 or12:00, sometimes 3:00 or 9:00. The range of left to right
and up to down based on Cr=2 show the viewing angle. Viewing angle range isn’t the range of defects
inspection. Refer to 10.4.

TIANMA can evaluate whether the LCD can be redesigned to obtain customer preferable performance if
customer’s LCD drive voltage isn’t adjustable.

10.3 Optical characteristics measurement equipment and method


The setup and test method are showed in fig.2. Test methods are different according to different
illumination mode.
Transmissive mode: light resource is placed at the back of LCD.
Reflective mode and transflective mode: light resource is placed at the front side of LCD.

The chamber temperature, light resource and driving signal should be stable before testing. If test the
characteristics under high or low temperature, the test system should be stable for more than 10 minutes
before testing.

10.4 Definition of viewing direction


Refer to the graph below marked by θ and Ф

Fig.3 Definition of viewing direction

10.5 Definition of contrast ratio


Contrast ratio can be calculated by the formula (10-1) below for positive type. If the LCD is negative type,
Cr (θ, Ф) is equal to luminance (θ, Ф, non-selected state) divided by luminance (θ, Ф, selected state). Note3-4
shows the relationship between selected state, non-selected state and bright state, dark state.

13 Precautions for Use of LCD Modules
13.1 Handling Precautions
13.1.1 The display panel is made of glass. Do not subject it to a mechanical shock by dropping it from a high
place, etc.
13.1.2 Liquid in LCD is hazardous substance, if the display panel is damaged and the liquid crystal substance
inside it leaks out, be sure not to get any in your mouth, if the substance comes into contact with your
skin or clothes, thoroughly and promptly wash it off using soap and water.
13.1.3 Do not apply excessive force to the display surface or the adjoining areas since this may cause the
color tone to vary.
13.1.4 Don’t touch, push or rub the exposed polarizer covering the display surface of the LCD module with
anything harder than an HB pencil lead, the polarizer is soft and easily scratched, handle it carefully.
13.1.5 Don’t put or attach anything on the display area to avoid leaving any marks on.
13.1.6 If the display surface is contaminated or becomes dusty, breathe on the surface and gently wipe it with
a soft dry cloth. do not scrub hard to avoid damage the surface. If still not completely clear, moisten
cloth with one of the following solvents:
— Isopropyl alcohol
— Ethyl alcohol
Solvents other than those mentioned above may damage the polarizer. Especially, do not use the
following:
— Water
— Ketone
— Aromatic solvents
13.1.7 Do not attempt to disassemble the LCD Module.
13.1.8 If the logic circuit power is off, do not apply the input signals.
13.1.9 Avoid using the same display pattern long time (continuous ON segment).Software must be prepared
so that the pattern will be changed
13.1.10 To prevent destruction of the elements by static electricity, be careful to maintain an optimum work
environment.
a. Be sure to ground the body and electric appliances when handling the LCD Modules. It is preferable
to use conductive mat on table and wear cotton clothes or conductive processed fibre. Synthetic fibre
is not recommended.
b. Tools required for assembly, such as soldering irons, must be properly ground.
c. To reduce the amount of static electricity generated, do not conduct assembly and other work under
dry conditions.
d. The LCD Module is coated with a film to protect the display surface. Be careful and slow when
peeling off this protective film since static electricity may be generated. It is recommended to use ionic
fan or machine when operating. It is recommended to remove the protection foil slowly (> 3 sec.).
e. It is preferable to wear gloves etc, to avoid damaging the LCD. Please do not touch electrodes with
bare hands or avoid any other contamination.

13.2 Storage precautions
13.2.1 When storing the LCD modules, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or to the light of fluorescent lamps.
13.2.2 The LCD modules should be stored under the storage temperature range. If the LCD modules will be
stored for a long time, the recommend condition is:
Temperature : 5°C ~ 40°C
Relatively humidity: ≤80%
13.2.3 The LCD modules should be stored in a clean environment or room, free from acid, alkali and harmful
gas.
13.2.4 Store the module in anti-static electricity container and without any physical load.

13.3 Transportation precautions


The LCD modules should be no falling and violent shocking during transportation, and also should avoid
excessive press, water, damp and sunshine.

13.4 Soldering
13.4.1 Use the high quality solders, only solder the I/O terminals.
13.4.2 No higher than 280℃ and time less than 3-4 second during soldering.
13.4.3 Rewiring: no more than 3 times.
13.4.4 when you remove connector or cable soldered to I/O terminals, please confirm that solder is fully
melted. If you remove by force, electrodes at I/O terminals may be damaged (or stripped off). It is
recommended to use solder suction machine.
